What is Specialized Drug Testing?

The purpose of drug testing is to identify accurately the presence of drugs of abuse in urine, hair, saliva or blood.  The price is affordable and it will depend on the drug testing panel required, the source of the sample and the purpose of the testing.

We offer a variety of drug testing including Instant Drug Screens using as samples urine or saliva.  If necessary the specimen is sent for laboratory confirmation.  In addition hair testing can also be collected on site.

A brief consultation could be provided to determine the most accurate and effective method for drug collection, many factors will be taking into consideration.  All collections will require the consent of the patient  or participant or the present and consent of the guardian if a minor.

Results are typically reported in 24 hours for negatives, 48-72 hours for positives.  All presumptive positive results go through a confirmation process to ensure accurate results.  Screening and confirmation testing are performed using different methodologies that require separate cut-off levels.

Hair Drug Testing

Hair Drug Testing provides significant advantages over traditional drug testing.  The advantages include a wider window of detection (90 days), less invasive and easier collection, and virtual elimination of tampering with the test.  The standard hair-5 panel includes cocaine, opiates, amphetamines (including ecstasy), PCP, and mariajuana.  Other opioids could be detected with an extended opioid panel.
